Zombie

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

Zombies are very common monsters in RuneScape, appearing in several different locations. They have the largest variety of combat levels of all monsters in RuneScape.

Players may kill zombies to obtain the rare Champion scroll (zombie) in order to fight the Zombie Champion in the Champion's Challenge minigame.

As zombies are undead monsters, they are vulnerable to the Crumble Undead spell and the effects of a Salve amulet.

Zombies generally have a low defence for their combat level.

Zombie can refer to the following:

  • Any monster whose name is zombie. This article covers these monsters.
  • A class of undead creatures: zombies, Armoured zombies, Undead ones, Zogres (zombie ogres), Zombie hands, Zombie monkeys, Zombie pirates, etc. When given a Slayer assignment for zombies, any zombie-class creature can be targeted.
  • Undead human zombies, including zombies, armoured zombies, and pirate zombies but not zogres or zombie monkeys.

[edit] Locations

[edit] Location by combat level

Note: This table may be incomplete, as zombies appear in very many places. Some locations are in members-only areas, require quests to enter, require the ability to enter a guild, etc., so consider checking the location's description before going there to hunt zombies.
Zombie level Location
13 Draynor Sewers, Entrana Dungeon, Varrock Sewers, West Ardougne graveyard, Wizards' Guild basement
18 Edgeville Dungeon, Graveyard of Shadows in level 20 Wilderness, Varrock Sewers
24 Draynor Manor, Draynor Sewers, Edgeville Dungeon, Graveyard of Shadows in level 20 Wilderness, Melzar's Maze in Rimmington, Varrock Sewers, West Ardougne graveyard, Wizards' Guild basement
25 Entrana Dungeon
30 Stronghold of Security level 2
32 Edgeville Dungeon (near hill giants)
40 Chaos Tunnels, Lair of Tarn Razorlor (dungeon)
41, 42 Lair of Tarn Razorlor (dungeon)
44 Stronghold of Security level 2
47 Lair of Tarn Razorlor (dungeon)
50 Lair of Tarn Razorlor (dungeon)
53 Stronghold of Security level 2
61, 67 Lair of Tarn Razorlor (dungeon)
69, 70, 72 Lair of Tarn Razorlor (dungeon)
76, 78 Lair of Tarn Razorlor (dungeon)
80, 81, 85, 86, 90, 95, 98, 100 Lair of Tarn Razorlor (dungeon)

Many zombie locations are far from banks. For players wishing to slay zombies and bank their drops, consider the following:

  • Low-level zombies
  • Medium-level zombies
    • The Lair of Tarn Razorlor (dungeon) has a banker. However, using this dungeon requires the Haunted Mine quest, The Lair of Tarn Razorlor miniquest, and a 100-coin fee to the banker for each access to the bank.
    • The zombie cave in the Chaos Tunnels is easily accessed from entrance #1 to tunnels and is thus moderately close to the Edgeville bank. However, care should be taken because entrance #1 is in low-level Wilderness and also enters the cave with rather dangerous Gargoyles. Also, the tunnels are a multicombat area, and aggressive Skeletons in the cave with the zombies may interfere with zombie hunting.
  • High-level Undead ones
    • Level 68 and 73 undead ones are by the entrance to Shilo Village, which is quite near the bank in the village. However, the Shilo Village quest is required for access to the village. Undead ones count as zombies for slayer tasks. When killed, the undead ones emit a 'green thick mist' that chokes you, doing some minor damage for a couple seconds. This mist is not poison, so anti-poison has no effect. The net effect is that players will take some extra damage killing these undead ones.

Also, player looking for good drops from zombies should instead consider slaying Armoured zombies in the Chaos Temple Dungeon.

[edit] Trivia

  • A Zombie bone, which differs from the usual bones dropped by Zombies, is a rare drop after completion of the first part of the Rag and Bone Man quest. It is one of the items in the wish list for the second part of the quest. This bone cannot be buried.
  • Zombies have more graphical diversity (different-looking versions) than any other creature in the game.
  • Unlike other zombies, the zombie in the bridge event during Temple Trekking does not drop bones of any kind and has the examine, "I wonder if he'd let me borrow his hatchet?" It also has a guaranteed drop of a bronze hatchet, which can be used to complete the event.
  • One of the various examines for a zombie is "Could his name be 'Lurch'?". This may be a reference to the butler in The Addams Family, Lurch.
